I'm amazed by some of these nationalists that are so insecure that they think the whole Russian nation is threatened by some micro-republics in the Caucasus and their small populations.It's like the French being threatened by Monaco, or Switzerland - Lichtenstein.They can rest easy - the biggest increases in birthrates over the past few years have been from ethnic Russian regions.

Those kind of people are in every country with some slogans 'our land, our land' like if they were their since the start of life !

Which is extra funny since Russia came to Kavkaz, not the other way arround.

I think its fair to say that the Russians developed the Caucuses and not the other way round. PLus when Russians moved into the area, land was often not valued.

Looking at things historically is interesting. For instance, the Khazars were terrorised out of the Caucauses by Muslims and wound up north in the Kievan Rus. And then the descendants of the Khazars (Christian and others) found their way back to the Caucuses. There are many examples of this.

The fact is that nutcases in the Caucuses DO threaten Russia. I have no plans to live in Grozny or Makhalaka, even tho there is wealth and a beautiful climate. Why? Thanks to racist, evil, moronic, cult following Muslim terrorist maniacs. Its clear many of them were ethnic "cleansers" who were no different to Hitler. Who terrorised innocent Russians into leaving the area. And so these Muslim maniacs should be treated in exactly the same way.

Bottom line is, the claim that the Russian Caucuses are somehow "Muslim land" is without any foundation whatsoever.

PS you also have some places that are Muslim occupied today thanks to the tyranny of Ottomans and other groups.The Ottomans and other Muslims were actually guilt of the enslavement of whites for several centuries. Even landing in remote British villages, capturing the whole population and shipping them off. You can google "Barbary Slaves". Yet another aspect of history dusted over by the PC zealots..

It's not for nothing that Muslim religious leaders say that such people have nothing to do with Islam. They really don't, nor with any other religion.They believe only in force, and money too.If everyone in the Caucasus was a true Muslim it would actually be the most peaceful region in Russia by far; same as if everyone in Thailand was a true Buddhist or everyone in say Moscow was a true Christian.

Some ethnic cleansing did take place in republics such as Chechnya but I find the talk about it is often exaggerated. The fact was that it wasn't systematic - it was sporadic and had as much do with criminal motives (taking over land, property, etc...) as anything nationalistic.Dudayev had a real genius idea in the 90s; he let all the criminals out of the prisons. They instantly took to doing what criminals do best; but they avoided targetting other Chechens; because it's a very small place and everyone knows each other, everyone has a gun or has a relative that has a gun, and revenge is likely to exacted. But Russians of course were fair game.

Many of the Russians in the area left of their own accord in the 90s when the economy collapsed and it became clear what a bandit-infested mess everything was becoming; out of Chechnya you had numerous criminal groups that kidnapped or took hostage innocent people both in Chechnya proper and on raids in neighbouring regions.Who would want to live under such conditions? Neither Russians nor Caucasians I would imagine - problem for the Caucasians though is that they had nowhere else to go so they stayed put, while the Russians left.

Thing is that Russian population decline because of small child brirth during economy crisis years can up to a point be ousted by quality immigration politics. When you see it, Moscow already wants 1 million workers and the birth decline that happened during 90-ies and 2000 will take effect around 2020-2025. I have no doubt that Russia will find the best way to deal with the problem which could impact economy growth also because of smaller working population.

Even if the population shrinks, there are still without jobs. As well, most modern facilities are automated, so the need for a lot of these workers is not there. The future needs skilled workers to design and maintain the automation.

Germany, France and UK are much smaller nations compared to Russia, in both land mass and population, yet they have large economy because of investments as well as automation (Germany more so than UK).

Now I will speak as someone who holds a PhD in mathematics.No, I don't think that he is joking but that he is simply confused because he lacks the technicalities who needs in order to study the problem of demographics.

He doesn't have an opinion and lends an opinion depending on what he wants to say to build his case.For starters, someone who specializes in a country's demographics should gather and access the next, easy to find data, apart from simple fertility and death rates:

-age of first child-number of marriages-number of divorces-fertility rates related with rural or city population-fertility rates by geographical region-death rates by accidents/bad habits-relation of fertility/death rates with the average income-immigration statistics-fertility rates per religion-fertility rates related with parents education-sexual transmitted deceases trends-abortion rates/policyand more

Study the trends and address the resultant outcome AT LEAST qualitatively if not quantitatively as well.

Obviously he is blissfully unaware of all this...

PS BTW from all this variables I mentioned above, all but the increase of the city population compare to the rural, run in favor of Russia's demographics!

And US itself is a matter of 3 years increase to grasp if not for blacks and Latins...

No, he's saying it sarcastically. Read his other articles; he always points out the fact that Russia is in fact NOT dying, and uses it as a point to illustrate the misconceptions about Russia in the Western media in general
